Answer 2

Answer:

Mark it as brainliest

Explanation:

hi,

Green Revolution is the term given to the introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of fertilizers and irrigation which provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. It was brought to India by the initiative of Indian government. Genetically modified high-yielding wheat was first introduced to India in 1960 by Dr. Norman Borlaug It is also rightly credited to M. S. Swaminathan and his team who contributed towards the success of green revolution in India.

Merits of Green Revolution

Compared to the traditional seeds, the HYV seeds promised to produce much greater amounts of grain on a single plant. As a result, the same piece of land would now produce far larger quantities of food grains than was possible earlier.

Demerits of Green Revolution:

Poor farmers could not afford HYV seeds, fertilizers and machinery.Some borrowed and ended up with large debtsHYV seeds need more water and fertilizer, which is expensiveNew machinery replaced manual labour leading to unemployment and rural-urban migrationThe Green Revolution was limited to rice and wheat only.
